Why Are the Intolerant Preaching Tolerance?



Greg Gutfeld who is organizing the building of a gay bar next to the ground zero mosque has been accused by the founders of the mosque of insensitivity to the feelings of Muslims. Here is part of an account from NewsBusters:


"I also contacted the Cordoba House, the folks behind the mosque - but they have not returned my calls.
"So I tweeted them.
"Here's what they tweeted back.
"You're free to open whatever you like. If you won't consider the sensibilities of "Muslims, you're not going to build dialog.
"By the way, I'm not building dialog, I'm building a bar.
"And as for the sensibilities of Muslims - which involves homophobia - thats not for me.
"And that's my point - its weird being educated in tolerance by an incredibly intolerant ideology. As long as gays and women are treated so poorly, how can they teach us compassion and generosity?"

If the gz mosque is built, there will be more mosques on that block than there are Christian churches in all of Mecca. Pictured, at the end of the rope, is the position of gays in Islam.

Vieira to Rubio: Are You Being 'Manipulated' By the Tea Party?

I think Viera's definition of 'intolerant' is 'anyone disagreeing with me.'

First Principles - - I

Sometimes I feel like I'm just whining about every little mistake made by lefties. And, even though one could blog forever about just that, I yearn to write more positively from time to time. So, I've decided to make some posts about what I believe: first principles.

GOD
I believe there is a God who created heaven and earth. I am a Christian who believes that the foundation of Christianity the belief that there is ,"no remission of sin without the shedding of blood," and that the suffering and death of Jesus is how the sins of humanity are wiped out. I believe that kindness and tolerance are expected of me. And I don't think kindness and tolerance excludes speaking the truth to the misguided. Though this speaking of truth is not to be a full time occupation. Hopefully wisdom and grace will show us when and where to speak.
I believe in God and feel that it is a sensible approach to life. I feel that world views that lack the divine tend toward the solipsistic.
